Maintenance; Battery - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 220 AC Operator's Manual

8. Maintenance

Check and clean the Husqvarna Automower™
regularly and replace worn parts if necessary to
improve operating reliability and to ensure a longer
service life. For further information on cleaning, see 8.5
Cleaning on page 70.
During the initial period Automower is used the blade
disc, skid plate and blades should be checked once a
week. If the amount of wear during this period has
been low, the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. In
addition the skid plate should rotate easily in relation to
the blade disc. The edges of the blades should not be
damaged. The service life of the blades depends on:
• Operating time and size of the working area.
• Type of grass.
• Type of soil.
• The presence of objects such as cones, windfalls,
toys, tools, stones, roots and the like.
The service life can vary greatly, but is normally
2-4 weeks of operation over areas larger than
2
1,000 m and longer in smaller areas. To replace the
blades, see 8.6 Replacing the blades on page 71.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Working with dull blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The edges of the grass are
not cut clean and more energy is needed
resulting in Automower not mowing such a
large area.

8.1 Battery

The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited life
span of 1 - 4 years.
Battery life is dependent on the length of the season
and how many hours per day Automower is used.
A long season or many hours of use per day, means
that the battery must be replaced more regularly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Charge the battery fully at the end of the
season before winter storage.
